Past or present, alive or dead, who would be the hardest guitarists ever. One rule, nobody mention Chuck Norris, I don't care if he plays the guitar or not.
Here's mine:-
Albert King - 6' 4", 260 lbs, grew up on a cotton plantation and was nicknamed 'The Velvet Bulldozer'
Antonio Banderas in Once Upon a Time in Mexico - His guitar case is a machine gun, enough said.
Steven Seagal - 6' 4", 7th Dan Blackbelt in Aikido . And he really plays the guitar
Keith Richards - A weak man on his own, but give him a Tele and he'll knock your block off. If he can't he can always call the Hells Angels.
Angus Young - Still the hardest kid in his school. No match for an adult but in the playground he's the boss.

Now this is just silly...

Yes but can they control the heat of the sun and the rotation of the earth? Can they go into killzone mode on the 3-way toggle switch? Do they have Yngwie Malmsteen as their guitartech and have him eat cheesecake all day? Can they make Michael Angelo Batio fall down from the ceiling and slice people's heads off? Can they rape your soul in the afterlife? Can they play 4 billion notes per second in order to warp back in time and practice 63 hours a day? I think not.

Everyone knows the answer is Jack Bauer anyway :lol:
-
hahaha Chuck Norris
-
say hello to RL Burnside...Mississippi bluesman who has become a prominent player is the jam blues scene in America after his death recently
-a master of the Hill country "trance blues"...
-had 2 brothers and dad murdered(I think thats right...) ...he served time for murder himself
-the quote says it all-
"I didn't mean to kill nobody," Burnside later said. "I just meant to shoot the sonofabitch in the head. Him dying was between him and the Lord."

Good call sir :D

How exactly did he become a zombie, then? :?

Whats with all these top 5 things anyway?
-

I've never really thought of Mr Seagal as particularly daunting. All you'd have to do is run past him and the fat bugger would never be able to catch you.

Bay City Rollers
McFly
John Denver
Busted
Nick Drake :?

I was waiting for Johnny's name to pop up. Good one! :D

I recon Zack Wylde looks pretty hard, I would NOT mess with him!
-
wait a minute, I forgot Chuck Berry!!!
-
I believe Rich Ward of Stuck Mojo used to be a professional wrestler. Wasn't WWF but it was one of those. Actually I think most of the band started out as wrestlers but a few lineup changes down the line and I think only Rich Ward is the only wrestler left...
Zakk Wylde looks tough, but that's just it...he looks tough. I am yet to see any evidence he actually is tough.
Now then, 5 hardest guitarists, hmmm....
I might have to get back to you on this one, hehe. Requires thought, something I'm not great at... :lol:
-

But not so hard that he wouldn't run away and stop playing certain cities after bikers took exception to him wearing colours without permission :lol:
-
Me. I once challenged Chuck Norris to a fight. When he blinked, I punched him in the throat. Mark 1- Norris 0.
I did this while playing Back in Black at 200000 bpm. On a scooter. In the rain. at -270˚C. replying to ridiculous posts on the bkp forum. And reading all 7 harry potter books. Br00talz.

Rich Ward is a TOP bloke! I certainly wouldn't mess with him, though :) Best live act I ever saw, Stuck Mojo, Bonz really knew how to work the crowd.
Also, didn't Phil Anselmo play the guitar, too? I sure as **** wouldn't mess with that mental case.
And the Tele comment in the original post: that's just silly. The only reason your head would come off is because of terrible EQing (although I have experienced this, to a lesser degree than full decapitation, at a recent Bon Jovi gig where one of the support acts was just nasty... Horrible, horrible tone (but that was a strat anyway)).
And I agree, these top 5 things are just stupid.
I know, why don't we start a Top 5 "top five" thread!!
Sigh

Zakk Wylde isn't tough but he's feckin' strong!! He threw a pretty big plant pot (with a big plant and soil in) out of a hotel room window!! He was rather drunk with Phil Anselmo and BLS etc
Oh and +1 on not messing with Phil!
-
Phil used to be a semi-pro boxer, so yeah, I'd steer clear too, heh. Forgot he played axe a bit. One of the guys from Lamb of Good is pretty hard too. I remember seeing a clip of them on a tour bus and the singer was being a drunken idiot and kept trying to get the guitarist to fight him. In the end they went outside and I believe the singer went down with one punch, heh.
He was very, very drunk though.
-
What about Ronnie Wood? He smacked his guitar around someones head in a gig. Sid Vicious did the same. Steve Jones headed beer bottles thrown on stage at him like footballs.
-
Ronnie Wood is the hardest guitarist out there?
(http://www.austinchronicle.com/binary/c3922e57/i_see_what_you_did_there.jpg)
Next you'll be telling us it's because he plays Kochs! I'm on to you J-Mac...
-
Well not the hardest but seems like a mad thing to do, i mean it must hurt! No Ron's not found out about the cult of the Koch! Silly thread.
Who's the cat?
-

It was a bad joke about Wood using a Koch to be the hardest.
-
There was a Ronnie one too, not sure where though.

if we can include bass players then I would vote for JJ Burnel (the stranglers for all you youngsters)
Who was well known for leaping int the audiance to track down those who where spitting at the band.
Sometimes he even took off the bass before jumping in
-
i've no idea who the $%&# this guy is all i know is he played for alice cooper and the guy is a monster.

That's Kane Roberts.
Hard? Maybe. Ridiculous? Undoubtedly.

Nice gloves, Rambo. Or is it Dumbo?

Alan Lancaster was reputedly unbeaten in a ruck, and Malcolm Young was meant to be a bit tasty too.
Ritchie Blackmore once broke someone's jaw!
Ted Nugent is probably armed on stage (in fact in the shower too), especially after Dimebag.
-
Alan Lancaster was reputedly unbeaten in a ruck.
I don't know if this is 100% true or if it's grown in the telling, but Rossi and Parfitt were too scared to sack him - even though they didn't get on with him at all by that stage - so they told him the band was splitting up after Live Aid.
Then they put together a new lineup about a year later (fortunately he lives in Australia, I guess they thought that's a good safe distance!).
-
What about the guitarist out of L7 that removed then threw a tampon at a member of their audience?
Technically speaking, is that hard, or just disgusting?
-
...can't leave out the Skynyrd boys...used to beat the hell out of each other on a routine basis..all of that southern whiskey
...did Wendy o. Williams ever strap on an axe??

Did he bash someone backstage at Top Of The Pops! lol
-
I reckon that lead guitarist out of the Kings of Leon is probably more than a bit tasty. He has that look about him. Not overly muscly, just looks like he can handle himself.
-
Johnny Cash-definitely, Steven Seagal-definitely not, Zakk Wylde-I have a feeling he's not as hard when the cameras aren't around.

Speaking of TOTP, Jim Bob and Fruit Bat from Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine (both guitarists) jumped on Philip Schofield... Obviously, beating up Gordons mate Phil isn't necessarily "hard", but it's pretty cool...
Mark.

So it's said, he never seemed to care how many he tackled at one time either

Don't forget he his pedal board also triggers nukes.

hehe Guitarists arn't known for being "hard", quite the opposite infact.
